Build a Streak with your favorite players and compete to win $5.6 million

Beat the Streak Report: Weekend, July 22-24

Well, well, well … look at you, Streakers! Four of your five favorite batsmen successfully forded the river last night, advancing a combined 41.7 percent of selectors in the process. No word yet on whether any oxen were lost or any cholera was contracted.

Either way, the safe crossing places a large number of you one day closer to establishing a homestead in the rich and fertile valley at the end of the 57-game trail.

A rough guide for the weekend is below, but you’re entering largely uncharted territory. Steer clear of hostile wildlife, stock up at the local trading posts and don’t hunt down more meat than you can carry back to your wagon.

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 6 with streak of 16 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 19.5% with Matt Holliday reseting the most.
There was also 8.2% PPD due to players not playing, These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.

Konerko may be highly picked today because he is a quick pick with a 467 average vs opposing pitcher. However, the problem with getting your picks from the “Picks of the Day” page is that it’s not normally updated when pitchers change. That 467 average is against Carmona who is not pitching today, Change made a day or two ago & now Huff is pitching. Konerko’s average against Huff: 286 (2-7). Paulie hits lefties well & those that picked him but ignorant of the pitching change may just get lucky anyway

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 1 with streak of 23 back to zero. DOH!!!
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 22.56% with Josh Hamilton reseting the most.
There was also 11.28% PPD due to players not playing, These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.3.2% —> picks of these were intentional DL or inj picks.

Major sacrificial lamb upon the altar. Pence at 0-4 after 8 innings… Tie possible in 1-run game else needs help to get up again in the 9th. If no more ABs, Pence can reset more today than all the Top2500 resets yesterday combined! Other notable 0-fers in that game, top of 8th: A-Ram, S.Castro

CHC scores 3 runs in 8th in the battle for last place in the NL Central. HOU winning that battle and not one a team wants to win ;)
Starlin got a hit in 8th. A-Ram surely reset if CHC can hold 4-run lead. Pence reset if CHC can prevent 3 extra batters coming to the plate.

Prado not picked well at all, but of the 6 that picked him, one is the leader. A 10 run explosion by CIN in 6th & 7th, may see Prado/McCann on the bench after ATL bats in the 8th. Prado would be due up in the 9th otherwise for a last AB if ATL can’t get him to the plate in the 8th.

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 3 with a streak of 18 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 36.24% with Hunter Pence reseting the most.
There was also 16.92% PPD due to players not playing, These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.4.48% —> 112 picks of these were intentional DL or inj picks.7.40% —> 185 picks of these were from the postponed game.

This month has had horrible results. Hamilton’s O fer is my 7th O fer of July, since there have only been 21 game days that is an average of 1 O fer every 3 days. This is getting harder to predict with pitchers like Brett Cecil throwing unpredictable games. :( BTW the board is dead!

The 10000+ is your rank for the entire year, not just your current streak. The “rank” column you see (607) depends on whether you are looking at the current/longest streak & may change. Try it in the Bloggers group. Sort by Current, then sort by Longest. You’ll notice the 607 “spot” changes value, but the 10000+ “spot” does not. So, the 10000+ is for the entire year, longest streak. The 607 “spot” depends on Current/Longest sorting. Hopefully I made myself clear

The 1st line should’ve read like so:
The 10000+ is your rank, compared to everyone else, during the entire year…
In other words there have been 10000+ people with streaks of 11 or more. The closer you get to 20, that number will be dropping.

In fact, you should be getting really close to having that number drop. Looking at page 100 sorted by Longest Streak, 17-gamers are ranked at 2251. So, right now, you’re somewhere between 10000+ (11 or less) and 2250 (17 games). Stay alive for a couple more days and you should see that number drop.

You’re welcome & I could have explained it a lot better and easier:
:: The 10000+ spot is the year-long standing compared to everyone that’s played to date
:: The 607 spot is the standing compared to only the current streaks
